It's been an interesting start to the year. I'm finished my third week of attending on general medicine wards (!!) and I've finally started to shed a little bit of the terror. The shock of seeing my name as "Staff Physician" or under the admitting orders. The first week I had to remind myself repeatedly … Continue reading Tomato, Carrot, and Goat Cheese Galette
Breakfast
Orange Blossom Brioche Pull Apart Rolls
I'm in a bread phase. I'm enjoying making and baking bread, which is a new thing for me. I usually shy away from the yeast - rest and proof - beat back - second proof - roll into something - and finally bake. It just...seems like a lot. And it is, but boy, fresh bread...it … Continue reading Orange Blossom Brioche Pull Apart Rolls
Under 45 minutes: Shakshuka-inspired Brunch
Brunch is fun...it's even funner if you can make it under 45 minutes. Seriously -- when you have people over, it's key to make sure you're not in the kitchen the whole time. It's part of why I love this recipe, and my easy vanilla-almond baked french toast: fast, delicious, and you won't have to … Continue reading Under 45 minutes: Shakshuka-inspired Brunch
Rosemary Cheddar Soda Bread
I don't make bread frequently. It's not that I don't like bread, I do though I'm not going to lie, mostly as a medium for butter consumption rather than for the sake of eating bread. But sometimes you see something, realize you have all the ingredients for it, and you want it, covered in butter, … Continue reading Rosemary Cheddar Soda Bread
Brunch Time! Easy Vanilla-Almond Baked French Toast
It's been a struggle to sit still recently and just enjoy the moment. Most doctors tell me, "Enjoy medical school, you'll never get the time off that you do then!" but then I everywhere I turn, friends are publishing papers and going to conferences, getting involved with all kinds of research, and I'm...petting my new … Continue reading Brunch Time! Easy Vanilla-Almond Baked French Toast
Coconut Cherry Millet Muffins
Most of what I post is pretty healthy. Well, in small portions at least. But this takes the cake, or the muffin I guess, for being most healthy. Millet Muffins. Before you turn away grossed out, I will tell you have made and finished these more times than I can count. More impressively, my husband, … Continue reading Coconut Cherry Millet Muffins
Nigh Kayaking and Pecan Pina Colada Oats
So for the past few weeks, Tyler has been going kayaking/boating with our friend Raleigh. He'd always come back desperately tired, but full of smiles and stories of how many times he rolled over in his boat in the water, or how he went down a rapid upside down...my thoughts were always...yes, fun. Upside down … Continue reading Nigh Kayaking and Pecan Pina Colada Oats
A British Breakfast
Arguably the easiest international breakfast ever. A few weekends ago, T- and I went over to a friend's house in Austin. She and her boyfriend had this lovely apartment near 6th street, and we enjoyed ourselves very much As a mid-afternoon snack on our second day there, our lovely yet tiny hostess suggested beans and … Continue reading A British Breakfast
Tasty Breakfast
Biscuits with poached eggs over beet greens So, Saturday morning is arguably my favorite time of the week. I can wake up leisurely without an alarm...T- and I can peacefully make breakfast that usually includes coffee and omlettes. But last weekend I decided to indulge. I got up and made buttermilk biscuits and poached an … Continue reading Tasty Breakfast
Spring Break + Chocolate Scones!
March 14th - March 18th -- Spring Break 2011. This may conjure up images of drunken beach parties, beach volleyball, uncommitted spring-flings, and overall tom-foolery. Now, picture it my way: best friends, Franzia, books upon books, no grading, no lesson planning, and lots of sleeping. Oh yeah, and a beach 🙂 Spring Break 2011 marks … Continue reading Spring Break + Chocolate Scones!
